Inpatient detoxification is essential when someone is withdrawing from drugs or alcohol because there may be risks involved. While in an inpatient detoxification setting in Ontario clients can be closely monitored for withdrawal symptoms that may cause health risks or even death in more serious cases. Someone struggling with alcoholism for instance would need to be closely monitored and likely administered specific medications which will prevent delirium tremens and seizures. Prescription benzodiazepine withdrawal is another example that can bring about very similar withdrawal effects, and medical professionals in the inpatient detox facility can minimize health risks.
There is not an exact protocol for each client in detoxification, because of the unique health differences that each individual presents when entering detox. An individual who is basically physically and mentally healthy may undergo detox for 3 or 4 days and be discharged without much intervention, while a different patient may require comprehensive treatment and intervention for a couple weeks. Medical safety is of the highest concern, as well as a transition to a rehab program for patients who should to take part in an actual substance abuse recovery center once detox is finished. Most detoxification facilities work with drug rehabilitation programs to make this transition possible, since detoxification is merely the first step in a much more comprehensive rehabilitation plan for recovering addicts.
